Chapter 85 I Can’t Eat It
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Youping said three yeses in a row, and smiled at Lu Mingzhu: "Zhenpin summoned you to the palace tomorrow, and will arrange for the imperial physician to treat your injuries. Mingzhu, if you can win the favor of Shufei, you will be able to enter the palace often in the future. It will also be beneficial for you to make friends with famous ladies."
Lu Mingzhu nodded happily: "I understand, Dad."
When Lu Mingzhu thought that there was a hope that the ugly scar on her forehead would be removed and her former beauty would be restored, her heart seemed to be lit with fireworks.
Soon, she will stand out among the noble ladies in the capital with her talent and appearance, and Brother Mu Heng will treat her even more like a treasure.
After dinner, Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru went back together. When there was no one around, Qiao Jingru couldn't help but say, "Looking at Lu Mingzhu's smug look, it's so disgusting that I can't even eat."
"The new chef we hired is a good cook. I ate two bowls of rice." Lu Xiang said with a smile.
Qiao Jingru's mouth twitched: "..."
She's so mad!
"Sister-in-law, calm down, calm down."
Qiao Jingru glared at her: "Angry? I'm not angry. Anyway, it's not me that Lu Mingzhu has cheated. I'm waiting to see you cry."
"Sister-in-law, you are so adorable even though you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart." Lu Xiang said with a smile while taking Qiao Jingru's hand.
Qiao Jingru was so angry at her that she lost her temper and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Lu Xiang only said that the time had not come yet, but seeing that Lu Mingzhu was rising higher and higher with the help of Lu Xiang, Qiao Jingru was really afraid that in the end things would develop out of her control.
It should have been possible to press Lu Mingzhu into the mud and rub her hard when she was still young and weak.
"By the way, father has found a academy for eldest brother to study, right? Sister-in-law should try to ask grandmother to let eldest brother not live in the academy." Lu Xiang suddenly said.
Qiao Jingru looked puzzled when she heard this: "Why? Wouldn't Lu Chao be able to study better if he lived in the academy?"
Lu Xiang: “…”
Could she say that because she allowed Lu Chao to live in the academy, he would let himself go and have a mistress?
"In the past, my eldest brother rarely came home from Yangning City, and we were always apart. No matter how good our relationship is, it can't withstand such a torment. What's more, Qinghui Academy is not far away. Could it be that he has neglected his wife for the sake of studying? The most important thing is that if we continue to live apart like this, when will grandma be able to hold her great-grandson..."
Lu Xiang finally sighed from the bottom of his heart. Qiao Jingru blushed immediately and patted her arm: "You bad girl, you made fun of me."
"I swear to God, I'm only thinking about my sister-in-law's happiness." Lu Xiang covered his chest with his hands, pretending to be heartbroken.
"I'm not going to pay attention to you." Qiao Jingru glared at her and ran away with a red face.
But she took Lu Xiang's words to heart, but was she asked to tell her grandmother? This was simply too embarrassing. Even if she wanted Lu Chao to come back to live in the mansion every day, Qiao Jingru couldn't bring herself to do it.
Lu Xiang chased after him with a smile: "It's my younger sister's fault. It's inconvenient for my sister-in-law to mention this matter. I'll go talk to my grandmother."
"Lu Xiang, you still keep talking." Qiao Jingru stamped her feet. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to sew Lu Xiang's mouth shut with a needle.
Lu Xiang quickly covered his mouth and pretended to shut up, and the two of them pushed each other and left.
Before in Yangning City, Lu Xiang did not pay much attention to Lu Chao, because he knew that Lu Chao kept a mistress in his previous life after coming to the capital. Seeing Qiao Jingru's deep love for Lu Chao, a faint light flashed in the depths of Lu Xiang's dark eyes.
In this life, she must find a way to turn Lu Chao around.
Even if Lu Chao was beyond saving, she would never let Qiao Jingru's tragedy in her previous life happen again in this life.
The next day, Lu Mingzhu dressed up and went to the palace.
Concubine Zhen asked her maid to wait at the palace gate early, and when Lu Mingzhu arrived, she led her to walk to the Yanx Palace.
When Lu Mingzhu entered the palace for the first time, she was stunned by the majestic and magnificent palace. However, she did not dare to look around too much. She just followed the little palace maid silently.
Outsiders entering the palace, no matter which palace they were going to or how far away they were, were not worthy of riding in a sedan chair and could only walk on foot.
The magnificent and splendid Yanxi Palace was majestic and solemn. The tall beams were painted with colorful phoenix and cloud patterns, which seemed to be shining and flying into the sky under the sunlight.
Lu Mingzhu was stunned until Fu Yue called her: "The fourth young lady is here, the queen has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Hello, Aunt Fuyue." Lu Mingzhu quickly put away the admiration and surprise in her heart and showed a well-behaved look.
As Fu Yue entered the palace, Lu Mingzhu looked around. The furnishings inside were very gorgeous, all mahogany furniture, and a dazzling array of antiques and jades on the antique shelves. Compared with them, those in Lu's mansion were not worth looking at.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty Zhenpin. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
Lu Mingzhu knelt down and bowed to Concubine Zhen Yingying.
Concubine Zhen had a warm smile on her face. She stood up and personally pulled her up: "Aunt, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, auntie."
"I heard you almost died in the fire. Poor kid, you suffered so much."
Lu Mingzhu looked at Concubine Zhen with a touching expression: "My niece was able to escape the fire this time, all thanks to the blessing of the queen."
"You... you are a blessed person." Concubine Zhen laughed, but she was very pleased with Lu Mingzhu's flattery. Then she said gloomily, "Lu Yue is young, but her heart is as vicious as a snake and scorpion. If your father hadn't kicked her out of the house, I would never have spared her. It is a shame for the Lu family to have such a daughter."
If she stayed in the mansion, rumors of her harming her sisters would spread in the future, and the entire Lu family would be unable to hold their heads up.
"I don't know why fifth sister treats me like this. We have never had any grudges against each other in the past." Lu Mingzhu murmured, with a sad look on her peach-like face.
Concubine Zhen couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes and said, "Let's not talk about her. Concubine Shu was also very sorry to hear about this. Promise to ask Doctor Zhong to treat your wound. Doctor Zhong is the best at removing scars from external injuries."
If Zhenpin invited the imperial physician herself, there would be no problem. However, if she wanted to treat Lu Mingzhu's injury, she might not be able to invite a highly experienced imperial physician given her rank.
But with Concubine Shu stepping in, all is not a problem.
At the same time, Lu Mansion.
A beautiful carriage stopped at the gate of Lu's mansion, the curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman got out. She stood at the gate excitedly, her eyes sparkling. Then a man in brocade clothes jumped out, opened the folding fan in his hand, and fanned it lightly in a self-proclaimed romantic manner.
When Chief Steward Du saw the visitor, he immediately came down to greet him with a smile: "I greet the Second Miss and the Second Uncle."
Lu Yao smiled brightly: "Manager Du, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
The woman had a delicate and lovely oval face, light eyebrows, a pair of crystal clear black eyes, and slightly upturned pink tender lips, making her look pretty and charming, with a scholarly air about her.
